6:34 pm
hello and welcome along. this was the test that england were going to mount their ashes comeback, 1—0 down in the series. a wash—out yesterday on opening day of the second test at lords. would they have preferred more rain today? because, after australia put england into bat, they were bowled out for 258, losing wickets at a steady pace with rory burns and johnny bairstow doing their best to contain things, both with half centuries. australia are at the crease and at lord's for us is our correspondentjoe wilson. a bit ofa a bit of a slope for england this one today. and as you mentioned we are trying to make up with lost time for the wassail yesterday. play is continuing under floodlights. more
6:35 pm
on that in a moment. but it was a brave decision everything backed up this morning when tim payne won the toss frustrated and decided to bowl. it went against 0rthodox thinking but almost immediately it really paid off for him. england batting, hazelwood was tad for the attack. it was jason roy's was the first man to go. that kind of dismissal does happen and test match cricket but another tough lesson forjason roy as he continues his fledgling test match career. you can say the same thing for worry burns going into this test match on the back of that big 100 at edgbaston. he placed some nice shots and he showed a lot of concentration in his 53. the moment which got him out i think was probably the moment of the matches so far. if you take a look at this which is coming up, cameron bancroft look at how close he was to the batsmen. incredible reaction just to he was to the batsmen. incredible reactionjust to get he was to the batsmen. incredible reaction just to get to that ball and clean onto it. the best fielder
6:36 pm
in the world in that position and that was evidence. johnny pearsall got back in form today and i think england would have been very leasing him doing that. ——johnny pearsall. he fell for 52. the wickets were shared out between the australian bowlers, three for hazelwood and cummings. 258 all out for england. it did not seem like much but then they come into bowl. floodlights on, jeffrey archer open the bowling and david already out. currently austria 17-1 david already out. currently austria 17—1 and we are playing on. the balls and all sorts at the moment. currently austria 17—1. if you look at the session put everything into perspective as we need to do with sports at times, today was a real marker with red on display. yeah, absolutely this was a day to a large degree about andrew strauss and his
6:37 pm
family but also about the wider concerns in particularfor a form of lung cancer with took his —— which took his life's why. —— his wife's life. his boys were here to ring the ceremonial boat which hails the start of play at lord's everyone. the red was taken on fairly well. some spectators came in right, various bits of advertising, logos, other bits and pieces of day and out test match turned red. this was on the back with gwen mcgraw what his foundation have done in australia for several years. it meant a lot to him today. and i grabbed a quick word with him about itjust before play started this morning. i am hoping for a very competitive day's cricket today, but also some moments where all the players come together and go, cricket is big but there are bigger things in life as well. i have done quite a few things since ruth passed away, trying to increase awareness about the foundation, and it is emotional but hopefully i will stay in control to some degree. there will be some special moments,
6:38 pm
my boys will be ringing the bell this morning which they are very excited about, and receiving caps from the players, so there are some really nice, touching moments there, and hopefully it is emotional without descending into a massive cry—fest. i think what andrew wanted really was a proper contest between england and austria and classic ashes out and austria and classic ashes out andi and austria and classic ashes out and i think he has got it and it is still going on with australia 17 at the one in the reply. looking further ahead and after all the rain yesterday, there is more rain possibly forecast. it will be a challenge for either team to get themselves in a winning position may be. but things today have moved quickly. wonderful stuff, joe wilson at lord's for us. thank you very much. the head coach of the scotland women's national team, shelley kerr, has spoken of her regrets following a bust—up with players at the end of the world cup in france. bbc scotland has learned some players were left in tears
6:39 pm
and at a team meeting the day after they were knocked out of the tournament. kerr admits she, along with other members of her backroom team, had been drinking with dinner before the meeting but says it was during down time and the squad is now fully behind her. this exclusive report is from our sports news correspondent, chris mclaughlin. facing the cameras for the first time since france, shelley kerr once the focus out to be in qualifying for the euros. but castor might back the palace in june. for the euros. but castor might back the palace injune. scotland 50 minutes from progressing then it all fell apart. the day after at an impromptu team meeting, the head coach and some of her players had a heated argument. that left some in tea rs, heated argument. that left some in tears, others considering their futures, and claimed that drink had been taken before the debrief. there was a few hard and fast conversations. that will always happen ina
6:40 pm
conversations. that will always happen in a performance environment. 0n reflection, what i do things different? yeah, of course. how he did did they get with matt because i was told there were players in tea rs. was told there were players in tears. for me, there was some heated discussions and that happens in football in high—performance at times. as i say on reflection, you have got to look at that and i look at that as the head coach being responsible and saying maybe the timing and because of the emotion certainly when you look at the circumstances were so certainly when you look at the circumstances were so unique. how aware are you of suggestions from within the camp that perhaps too much alcohol had been taken? listen... for me, we as a staff group have said, we consume for ten months, staff are working round—the—clock, the day after and the tournament is finished, myself and some of the staff went out for a meal. and we had a few drinks.
6:41 pm
and some of the staff went out for a meal. and we had a few drinksm and some of the staff went out for a meal. and we had a few drinks. is it safe to say that in hindsight the staff, yourself perhaps should not of had a drink before speaking to the players? you are on time off, the players? you are on time off, the staff are absolutely amazing to the staff are absolutely amazing to the internment, great support for us. the internment, great support for us. and i can see perception. perception from the players is the problem? i think so. perception from the players is the problem? ithink so. of perception from the players is the problem? i think so. of course perception however, there is... you look and you reflect and you can't tell how you are going to be. are you aware that there were players after what happened considering their international futures?” after what happened considering their international futures? i think that's always the case in a performance environment. but because of that in itself? as i say we have went out with a squad of players that were involved at the world cup and we will continue with that squad and we will continue with that squad and we will address, debrief, i have spoken to a lot of the players
6:42 pm
directly and indirectly. i have got a positive feeling about the euros and that is what we need to focus on now. so the mayor to from here is very much hands up, things have gone wrong and —— on and off the pitch was of —— the narrative here. but forget france and let's build for the euros. yes the squad is fully but there are bruises that will take some time to heal that have little to do with football. chris mclaughlin, bbc news, hampden park. it's not been the best start for arsenal players mezut 0zil and sead kolasinac who didn't play in their season opener at newcastle after they were ta rgetted in a carjacking in london. it means 0zil hasn't played since last season. the pair escaped unhurt but weren't made available for selection over ongoing security concerns. but are ready to return for their club side this weekend. the mentality is now focused for us.
6:43 pm
two have they given you a sense of how scary it was for them was well really the focus is positive i think. they are 100% with their mind here. i want to help them to be with us training, thinking about football. taking the focus for each match. formal arsenal defender has left with mutual consent after eight months in charge. it is the first managerial club exit for top four divisions the season. he took over in november lester with the team in the bottom of leave to and guided them to safety things to a run of just two defeats in the final ten games which did come mid field financial issues at the club. bury‘s away fixture
6:44 pm
against rotherham on tuesday has been suspended by the english football league, their fifth successive game to be called off. the suspension comes as the league 1 club works towards an august 23rd deadline to avoid expulsion. the efl say they are still dissatisfied that bury can pay outstanding creditors and have funding for the season ahead. 0wner steve dale said earlier this week he has provided the required evidence and is prepared to sell the club. there's europa league qualifying this evening, four teams we're going to keep an eye on... wolves host armenian side pyunik. they have a 4—0 lead from the first leg of their third qualifying—round tie. rangers too have a lead against fc mitchelland. 2—0 up from the first leg. tougher for aberdeen though, they trail by two against riekka. the toughest of tasks though for the new saints — 5—0 down against bulgarian side ludogorets. you can keep updated on those ties on the bbc sport website. now, this british pair crossed the line together celebrating first at the olympic triathlon test event in tokyo overnight.
6:45 pm
but then they were disqualified. georgia taylor—brown and jess learmonth crossed hand in hand and although learmonth was initially given the win, both were later disqualified under a rule that says you can't intentionally cross the line together. it meant bermuda's flora duffy was given first place, and great britain's vicky holland was upgraded to third. it's really disappointing and i feel for them because they both raced exceptionally today and as far as i'm concerned, they absolutely smashed it and they deserved that first and second place. but, you know, the rules are the rules unfortunately. yeah, itjust shows that even with those two disqualified, we still end up with someone on the podium and other people coming in in the top ten. so, real strength in depth in our team. well, it's created quite a stir, this rule, and leaves us with more questions about who and how team gb will pick for the 0lympics next year. i spoke to former
6:46 pm
triathlete annie emmerson. everyone was really shocked. anyone who has played to watch the razor woke up to the news this morning. but the rules are there they are clearly written. and unfortunately forjess learmonth, the dual disqualification was inevitable with the way they cross the line. what they have known about this road do you think? i think had they known about it, they obviously would not have done it. i think they thought what they were doing was ok because there was prize money, there was a lot at stake winning that race are coming second. i think had they known the rules clearly, they would not have done what they done. a lot of sports fans here in great britain may rememberjohnny and alastair brownlee back in mexico in 2017 when johnny was helped over the wind by his brother alastair. me i right in thinking the rule was changed after that moment? the rule that
6:47 pm
disqualified georgia taylor—brown and jess learmonth had nothing to do with what happened with the bradleys. this had to do with assisting another athlete in a race. the 211 rule which falls inside itu competition rules which states that an athlete who finishes in a contrived time situation in other words makes no effect to separate in time will be de—queued. the rule is quite different to what was changed after that race which was the grand final in 2016, that famous moment where alastair supported johnny brownlee across the finish line. finally, what do you think this means for the selection for tokyo next year and who we are elected to see there and also the conditions they will face? because this run was shortened in this race last night because of the soaring temperatures. you're absolutely right. it has made it incredibly difficult for the
6:48 pm
selectors. because the one that race could not be of qualification race for the pristine because the roi states that if the race is shortened in any way orform, it can no states that if the race is shortened in any way or form, it can no longer bea in any way or form, it can no longer be a qualification race. so going into the race vicki holland was the only one that could be automatically selected if she finish on the podium which she did. but it was made a 5k run and not a 10k run. i think what is great though is the strength and death and also to look at our girls and how well they are prepared so that all finished very well and in good shape. —— strength and depth. with the triathletes at the moment, it is brilliant and it is proving that it it is brilliant and it is proving thatitis it is brilliant and it is proving that it is working. and just to let you know tonight's coverage of the men's race and sunday's mixed relay event are live on the bbc sport website for all your updates. let's bring you up to date on some other news making the headlines. chelsea football club say they are "disgusted" by racist abuse on social media directed
